“only if you could get a good rate”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012

We only stayed here one night and booked it at the last minute so this review probably reflects the fact that it seemed overpriced. It is clean and comes with typical amenities. It would be ok if you don't plan to spend much time in your room and can get a good rate (no more than $150). The location is central in that it's next to a subway station, but it felt like you have to walk more than 15 minutes to get to anywhere worth seeing. It seemed like there were a lot of Japanese tour groups at this hotel.

“Great location near shopping areas. Easy access to everything.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 January 2012

My wife and I celebrated our anniversarry at Seoul and we booked this hotel die to its proximity and price. The value of hotel is not too expensive and its room is modern enough. We have no complaints. We arrive Incheon Airport early around 6am and there is a bus right outside airport foors that drops right infront of hotel. Only cost 10,000 won per person versus a spendy taxi. We were allowed to check in early with no extra costs. They even gave my wife BB cream as welcome gift. Theirs beds are comfy and their rest room is clean with tub. Their toilet bowl is remote controlled and with heater on water and seat. We did not try their bfast its american and spendy we are 15 min walk to Myeondong so we decided to eat korean food there. Dongdaemon is also only few mins away. Also the Myeondong Cathedral so as Namdaemon Market. we will definitely stay here again. Ow the only downside is no wifi in rooms only lobby and ground level floors. They got plug in internet in room also free but we only had iphone and ipad with us.

“good location & worth your money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2012

we stayed in 2 different hotels on our trip to Seoul. One is a five star hotel in Gangnam and the other is Best Western Kukdo.

It's 5 mins away to the closest subway station and 2 stops away to Myeongdong. Very convenient and you get more privacy as it's not directly in front of the major streets.

Airport limousine stops directly in front of the hotel, which another plus point. Family mart just around the corner (in case you're feeling hungry and craving for korean instant noodle at night)

Although the price was almost halves than what we paid on the other hotel, it lived to our expectation! Room was clean and nicely decorated. Not very spacious but comfortable.

I'd recommend this place to anyone visiting Seoul and wants to stay near the bustling Myeongdong.

“Great location!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2012

We had originaly wanted to book a hotel in Myeongdong but due to the year-end peak season, we had to settle for Best Western. It turned out that we made an excellent choice! The hotel is just a few steps away from Euljiro 4 station (exit 10) and the underground links all the way to Euljiro 1 station (where Lotte Shopping Center is) by foot in 15 minutes. The underground not only provides respite from the cold during winter, it is also a great way to explore the city. A big plus is the airport shuttle which stops right at the doorstep.

We had a room on the 19th floor overlooking the city. Room is modern and clean and comes with internet access. While the room comes with all the basic amenities such as skin lotion, shampoo, etc, the hotel does not seem too generous with other essentials. We had two bottles of complimentary mineral water provided on the first day but not the subsequent days. Toothbrush and toothpaste are available at a cost.

Service at the concierge was excellent. The staff was able to give good recommendations on local cuisine and helped us with bookings for a ski trip. Would defintiely stay here again!

“Sweet place to stay in Seoul.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 December 2011

Very modern with a great bar and restaurant. The rooms are very clean.and nice. The service is solid.
The location seemed good, right on the metro although I don't know Seoul well enough to comment on it relative to other areas.
I would stay her again for sure.
